CHICAGO. Sept 2o-Dullness again charac-
terized the wheat market to day, and prices held
steady within yesterdays range until the close,
when trade showed some little Improvement.
The fact that certain traders, who usually lead,
just the "bear" side, and think. in
view of the foreign situation, there is hope
for wheat holders. is being trumpeted daily. and
those who would buy kept rmid state
of mind. The firmQeSS toward the close at
tributed to desire the part of the
shorts to cover. aud light offerings.
The receipts continue quite free, aggregat-
ing 800, 900 blu at twelve points, while the ship
rnents from the same were 353, 900 bu. Exports
from three seaboerd ports were reported as be-
ing 112. 000 bu. October wheat opened at csc,
declined to 6ssc. reacted to 69s 0694c
and closed at 69c. Corn opened little off,
but showed enough frmness during the morning
to advance prices about &c. The Quot contin-
ued until the squirt in wheat, just before l P.
NJ, when the bulls" in the corn pit took
charge and added another &c to the price
of October and May. This left corn 3c

ton. October sold at 41c open and went to 41ac
opened at 444c. sold fractionally lower, touched
45c, and left off at AL a 44sc. Oats were quite
dull and easy until late In the session, when
the strength developed in exertod a better
feelipg and % &c advance was established. At
the afternoon session a slightly easier tone ex-
listed, the better prices being shaded. May
opened at 294c, went to 3Oc. and closed at
29Ec asked Under the influence of light
ceipts of hogs and higher prices therefor, pro-
visions opened stronger, and prices for the
leading speculative articles ruled higher Offer
ings were moderate, while the demand on local
and outside account was sufficiently urgent to
cause advance of II a 10c. After this inquiry
provided for, the market ruled quiet with
little more inclination the operators part to
SELL with lighter inquiry from all sources
sulting in easier feeling and lower prices.
The concluding prices were not materially
changed from yesterdays close. January
divided with October the interest of operators.
